No. I'm Not Making This Up / Dustin Rowles


Trade News | March 30, 2010 | Comments (37)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20th Century Fox is developing a film based on the E*Trade talking babies. No. I am not making this up. Actress and writer Katie Dippold (“Parks and Recreation,” “MADtv”) is penning the script. And no. I’m not kidding. The film is a “mission movie,” about a group of talking babies trying to make their way across the playground.

NO. I am not lying to you! Why would I lie? What reason would I have to bring you news like that if it weren’t true. Hell. Don’t blame me. Blame The Hollywood Cog. He’s the one that told me. Better yet, blame 20th Century Fox. No wait. Blame E*Trade. They’re responsible for the goddamn talking babies in the first place.

I cannot believe that someone is making a movie based on the E*Trade babies. A talking baby movie is bad enough, but one that’s based on a television commercial campaign?

We live in a sick world, people. A sick, sad world.

4. So Fox is making a 2 hour long E-Trade commercial?
That somehow is a remake of Look Who's Talking?

BRILLIANT

5. I happen to think the ads are funny, and I normally LOATHE talking baby anything. But A MOVIE?
No, what works for 30 seconds does not need to be played out over two hours.

It's like when Hollywood thinks that, since one movie or tv show about a particular subject is good and well-received, that 10 movies or tv shows about that same subject will be even better.

7. It tells you how much respect they have for 'the public.'
They think we're dumb enough to pay good money to see the same shit over and over and over and...

Hey, wait a minute... They're right.

:wtf:
